Here are some key notes from today and yesterday.
The 4 main types of macro molecules are:
- Lipids
- Carbohydrates
- Proteins
- Nucleic Acid
Poly means many
Mono means one
- Mono means one
- Poly means many
- Monomers are small molecules that bond to create polymers
- They bond through a dehydration reaction (think removal of H20)
Sucrose is a polymer made from the 2 monomers glucose, and fructose. A starch is a polymer made up of 3 or more glucose monomers.
Next is a list of the monomer types for each of the for macro-molecule types:
Lipids--Glycerol and Fatty Acids
Carbohydrates--Sacharides
Nucleic Acid--Nucleotides
Protein--Amino Acids
A peptide bond is the form of bond used to create a protein.
